Talk with the school support staff at your institution about students in your class with disabilities. These disabilities can be physical or mental. The guidance counselor should be able to discuss with you the student's IEP, or Individual Education Plan. This document will define any disabilities that the student has and offer suggestions for accommodating them.
Plan a meeting with your institution's Office of Accessibility. With the child's IEP in hand, discuss with the office different accommodations that the office is allowing the student to have in your class. Depending on the nature of the student's disability, these accommodations may include extra testing time, separate testing rooms, an interpreter, or time variance on assignments.
Schedule a private meeting with the child. If the child is a minor, include his parents. During this meeting, talk with the student about his disability and any accommodations that were recommended on his IEP or by the Office of Accessibility. Ask the student his preferences and find out what he feel will help him most. This meeting should always be in private, outside of class time and away from other students.
Write the lesson plans for your curriculum with all of the information that you have gathered in mind, accounting for different learning styles within the classroom. When providing for disabilities, it is important to factor into the lesson all possibilities that may arise. For example, make sure to provide extra space in the classroom design if you have a student with a physical handicap, plus extra time if the lesson requires physical activity.
Follow-up with the student regularly, in private, to discuss how he is doing. Make sure that the accommodations and adjustments that were set up in the initial meeting are still providing the student with maximum benefit.
